Dear all,
Just one additional comment from me (if you don't mind) with regards to the STOPLOSS value of this EA. The default value is set at 400 pips. Having said that however, just to let you all know that I did encounter two times in the past whereby the stoploss did hit 400 pips and the EA closed trades which ended up with a huge loss.
As the result, I have decided to follow another trader's strategy which was to set the STOPLOSS to be "0" instead of "400" so that the EA won't close trades even when it hit 400 pips in drawdown. The good thing is, the EA will continue to work until it managed to recover losses and eventually closed trades with a profit when the market trend finally reversed its direction (to be honest it did happen successfuly in one of my past tests). Yet, the bad thing is, if your account balance, leverage and/or margin is insuffient of holding up all your trades, then you could possibly end up blowing up your account. Therefore, please make sure you do have a large leverage (e.g. 1:1000 if possible for your better safety) and a sufficient account balance (a minimum of $1000 or more with 0.01 lot size used for your trading) in order to keep you survive especially whenever the market suddenly move strongly against you that could cause a huge drawdown with your account.
Having said all that, I think there is no such thing as a perfect EA or setting. At the end of the day I believe everyone would still need to decide on what strategy and what settings work best for yourself in terms of risks, safety and expectation of profit.
Wishing everyone the very best in your EA tests.

chong.
